Parichehr

Parichehr (پریچهر) is a historically attested Persian feminine name meaning 'face of a fairy' (pari = fairy, chehr = face). It appears in Persian anthologies and is recognized in Persian literary onomastics as a poetic compound used to laud feminine beauty. While not Qur'anic, Parichehr has been used in Persianate Muslim societies as a literary/traditional given name rather than a religious epithet. Related names reflecting the same root or poetic register include [[Parisa]] and [[Parin]]. Contemporary use is rare; the name is appreciated among speakers of Persian and in some South Asian Persianate communities for its lyrical quality and classical associations. It is not a prophetic or Sahabi name but is culturally established through literature and oral tradition.
